- [*]Having a definition of what a cache is sounds like a good idea. I have a couple of reservations with the first draft. First, I’m hesitant to include the word ammo in any context going to the DNR. I’d also rather not mention micro or virtual to them, as it may give them an idea about only allowing those types of caches. How about something along these lines?
A “Geocache” is any small to medium weather resistant container which is hidden from public sight by placing under deadfall, bark, or rocks, and whose location is published on the Internet for other people to find. The containers serve the purpose of providing a place to store small trade items and/or logbooks. The intent of a Geocache is often to bring the cache seeker to a scenic park or interesting place, and to provide a quality outdoor experience. Geocaches are intentionally placed by their owners and are NOT abandoned property. The owner is responsible for its maintainence and upkeep.
[*]I completely agree with the rewording in item 2 and the reasons for the change.[*]Agree[*]Agree[*]Agree[/list]

You just have to remember that the count displayed on a log is only as accurate as the last time that cache page was updated. If a cache does not see any activity, all the counts on all of the logs will be laging behind. But its better than nothing
Links in logs still work, but make sure you end them with a space before any punctuation. The log formatter places some formatting after the link, and if there is no space the link gets confused. Post or email me an example of one of your messed up logs if you like, and I’ll take a look. Or just try reposting the log ending the link with a space. BTW, just type in the link, no html tags are needed.

IMHO, the performance improvement on the geocaching.com site that resulted from making the cache pages static is wonderful.
While I also certainly liked seeing the number of finds on the logs, I’m certainly willing to loose them for the sake of getting such a performance improvement. Its easy enough to click on the cacher’s name to see their profile if we’re really interested in seeing how many finds they have.
Here’s the announcement.
Thanks… another sleepless night
Hmm Hmm, Hmm Hmm, da da da dada da da da da.
Also relevant, did you listen to Beep Beep?
(Yes, I did end up listening to all of them…)

As its been a couple of weeks without further comment, I was wondering what state the draft is in, and if there was a tentative date to deliver it to the DNR for consideration.
Bummer… I wonder if they would be willng to consider the policy that the DNR adopts, once its finished.
Great article! All the important points were well covered, nice job!
I got a find log on our Cache in the Bluff in Door County a day ago from Artopsy, so he must be on vacation.
T&B, I’m going to turn down your offer to join the design team for the simple reason that I can’t wait to hunt it when it goes live!
Don’t forget to cast your vote for it then on the Cache of The Month Page
It sure looks like fun!
Hmmm. You know, I never did let my cycle classification on my driver’s license expire after the accident. Seeing how much fun you guys just had, maybe I should start looking for a bike again…
Puzzled in Cedarburg (its in the topic of the post)
A handgun was found in the woods by our Entwive’s Tumor cache. The cacher called the police who came and took possesion of it. That works…
Greetings, and welcome to the sport!
We don’t know this for a fact, but have a strong belief that establishments that require you to be 21 to be served also have strong restrictions on under 21 being in the establishment.
Some businesses of this nature liscense only a portion of the premise, and under 21 are allowed in the unliscensed section. Take for example Dave & Busters. Under 21 are allowed IN the establishment, but in the center of the main room is a bar. Under 21 are not allowed to approach, sit at, lean on, or even purchase a coke from that area.
Seeing as how geocaching is a family activity, you should probably give this idea strong consideration. On the flip side, there are certainly enough cache in Wisconsin that if one (or a few) can’t be hunted as a family, or by those under 21, its probably not really a big deal.
Covert Cache is one of this nature that comes to mind.
Hope all this rambling helps!
